Am I choosing the right update file?

I am currently using P9 Plus in Asia, current firmware build number is VIE-L29C636B180.
I'm not receiving the OTA for B190, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to brick my phone before I updated.
I found the FULL and OTA firmware from this: http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1163/g104/v66324/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1163/g104/v66324/f1/full/changelog.xml
I'm pretty sure I got the right files, and can copy the FULL firmware to my device and flash, but I just want to make sure before I update.
Your confirmation would be greatly appreciated
I've attached an image of the file I'm referring to as well.
Thanks again

Upgrade to Nougat
Hi, the link to the Polish site explains that you can't do the dload method as it's an OS upgrade, not just an update. Bare that in mind when trying to jump from <B320. It's taken me a couple of days of research to finally upgrade my VIE-L29C636 to B320.
I came across the original Huawei updater on XDA and got the phone updated as far as B170, the dload methods then got me up to B190 and I was stuck until I just saw the Polish page showing how to enter in the custom ROM url. After that I used the HiSuite to do it (based on the Huawei updater method on XDA).
1. get the link from the website the OP originally posted (based on your Hardware and whatever the other version number is, e.g. mine is VIE-L29 & C636 (= VIE-L29C636). I found it in About phone in settings (the last part of it is the firmware version, mine was originally B103 (= VIE-L29C636B103).
2. download the updater from the Polish page
3. do steps 2 to 5
- Copy the Firmware, version and software code from the hwmt.ru website applicable to the version that you are downloading, e.g. VIE-L29C636B320
- The bit I missed was how to put the URL in, I pasted the whole thing, you need to paste it and remove "full/update.zip" from the end
4. Open HiSuite
- go to Settings (top right hamburger icon > settings)
- scroll to Proxy settings
- enter 12.0.0.1 in the Address
- 41279 in the port
5. Connect your phone to the computer/HiSuite
6. Click System Update in HiSuite
7. Enjoy Nougat!!

Hi, could you maybe share the method you used for updating to b360? I've tried via HiSuite (using Huawei Updater 2.0 to proxy the request) and via the dload method but no luck. I even tried with the Huawei Firmware Finder app on the device itself. Phone is not rooted and bootloader is locked.

Can anyone advise to what the difference is between the listed b360 builds?

VIE-C900B160 there is no update

Hello I have Huawei P9 Plus and Im still on Android 6.0.
Everyday i check fpr update and there is no signs for it..
My build number is VIE-C900B160
And my model is VIE-L09.. plese help me get Android 7.0!! Cheers

Hello same problem for me. Have you found a way to update?

C900 does not recive OTA, u need to debrand to C432.

Sent from my VIE-L29 using XDA Labs

Use firmware finder and upgrade to the last FULL version (not OTA). Mine is VIE-L09C900B181. It was possible installing the FULL C432 version (no root just upgrade).

Hello and thank you so much for your help.
- I tried to download a firmware manually and put files on dload folder but when i restart it says it's not a compatible update.
- Before i tried with firmware finder but, i don't know why, i hit download but nothing happens. stuck on 0%. (i configured the proxy in the right way etc...)
Now i'm gonna try to follow the video guide. Honestly i'd avoid to root the device but i have no choice.

Open Firware Finder, select Change Model and set VIE-L09C432.
Select Get Firmware List and then VIE-L09C432B180 Type: FULL Size: 1,616 GB
Download it, check it unpack and move to Dlod
No root needed !

Thanks for your help but it was too late.
Tonight i followed the -first part- of the videoguide (Mostar088's link). I mean i unlocked the phone, installed twrp, root the phone and at last i debranded the phone with srk tool.
After the reboot, i noticed there was an update! so after the update i had my super cool brand new Nougat! but it's not a big deal at all! -_-
some serious and odd things:
- i had NO KEYBOARD just google dictation. i had to fight trying to dictate my google account credentials. But i did it and i installed a keyboard.
- NO BLUETOOTH. i can't activate it. i try to toggle it on but nothing happens.
- XTREME BATTERY DRAIN.
- UPDATER option doesn't work. i tap on it but nothing happens.
Can you help me? I don't know what to do. i think i got the last ota update but it doesn't work.
Thank you!

I did it now it works!
Downgraded to Marshmallow and updated again.

Follow the first part of mostar88 linked guide.
You need to "debrand" to C432. Before debranding you have to root the device. So unlock the bootloader, install twrp, root the device and debrand.
After that just reboot and install the ota update (check for updates). In this way u gonna lose root mode and twrp recovery.

try to follow this steps

Can someone give me some more feedback about these steps? I open Firmware Finder, changed the model and looked up that exact version in the list, full size 1.6gb. I hit download and I let it download (took a few hours), then, the download finished.. but what do I do now? There's no message from Firmware Finder.. the step "check it unpack" .. where do I do this? And "move to Dlod"? What is dlod? A new app?
This is so confusing, lol.

Is any way to get OTA updates so that the root is preserved? Even if there TWRP will be broken, the main thing is to keep the root access.

Can i not downgrade my phone to android 7 and just unlock the bootloader? or is it necessary to downgrade it? i have nokia 5 android 8.1 btw..

Problem is how to run that twrp, i renamed it to recovery.img and copied it to the ADB file, is this correct? or should i just type the command "flash recovery recovery.img"? and after downloading the oreo update zip in the last part, in what file should i put it in?
thanks in advance to anyone who will reply

if your firmware matches below guide then you can update to one ui!
*#1234# <--- Type that into phone dialer and see if it's the same as the screen shot firmware Note 9 version info i have posted! if yes then follow below!
NOTE: THESE UPDATE.ZIP's ARE ONLY FOR DEVICES WITH MULTI-CSC OXM!!!
You can check this, to type in your dialer *#1234#, and check if OXM is in the CSC-build...
Managed to get the UPDATE.ZIP if your Note9 is currently on ARL3 (Oreo) to CSA2 (Pie)
ARL3 -> CSA2
If your device is still on ARK2, then update first to ARL3:
ARK2 -> ARL3
* If you have sd card place update.zip in it boot to recovery by holding power up + power +bixby button.
* Go to apply update from SD card.
* just choose install update, If no sd card choose adb in recovery.
* Download adb from here https://dl.google.com/android/reposi...st-windows.zip
Please NOTE this is not my guide!! All Thanks and all credits go to @jaylence for taking the effort to reset his device, and getting the "update.zip" for you!

You rename the .bin file to UPDATE.ZIP if you slowly read the guide you dont need to ask us anything as all the answer you are looking for are in the guide!
if your firmware matches below guide then you can update to one ui!
*#1234# <--- Type that into phone dialer and see if it's the same as the screen shot firmware Note 9 version info i have posted! if yes then follow below!
NOTE: THESE UPDATE.ZIP's ARE ONLY FOR DEVICES WITH MULTI-CSC OXM!!!
You can check this, to type in your dialer *#1234#, and check if OXM is in the CSC-build...
Managed to get the UPDATE.ZIP if your Note9 is currently on ARL3 (Oreo) to CSA2 (Pie)
ARL3 -> CSA2
If your device is still on ARK2, then update first to ARL3:
ARK2 -> ARL3
* If you have sd card place update.zip in it boot to recovery by holding power up + power +bixby button.
* Go to apply update from SD card.
* just choose install update, If no sd card choose adb in recovery.
* Download adb from here https://dl.google.com/android/reposi...st-windows.zip

There is nothing out for the SM-N9600 yet.
What has been posted in this thread does not apply,it's either for the SM-N960F or SM-N960U Beta ,neither of which will work on your model.

The conventional wisdom is that updates have been faster this time around,so,at least there's that.
If the trend continues,perhaps there'll be an improvement over last year's Note 8 Int'l Snapdragon (SM-N9500),which didn't hit the street until April '18:

Our NOTE9 are categorized by CSC. Generally, for "unbranded" variants, these devices are included in the multi-CSC OXM.
There are other "branded" variants. They don't belong to the multi-CSC OXM. They are given their own CSC group. Example for the UK, they have different CSC for EE, so is O2.
Now, based on the info you provided, your device is part of the multi CSC OXM with current build ARK2.
But, to be sure, dial *#1234 to know your exact build number.
Being on a Multi-CSC OXM, means you can install/flash any multi CSC OXM firmware of your choice. It's completely safe.
Instructions for flashing using odin are provided by OP at posts #1 & 2.
Instructions for installing update.zip via recovery are also provided somewhere in this thread (can't remember the post #... you'll have to backread).
If you can confirm that you are indeed on ARK2 build, your update will be like this:
1. Install ARK2 -- > ARL3 update.zip
2. Install ARL3 ---> CSA2 update.zip
Hope this helps you.
